    Open Carnival

    With normally uncharacteristic swiftness, Ann snatched at the Band, furious green eyes glaring into the blond woman's. She tugged and tried to wrench the artifact from the Contessa, but the archaeologist could not bring herself to risk damaging the treasure. "How could you?" she seethed. "Let...

    Open Carnival

    "It's a pleasure to meet you as well," the anthropologist responded with the most reserved of smiles. "Indeed, I am American." That there was any doubt about that somewhat flattered Ann. A green-haired woman suddenly inserted herself into their conversational dabbling, interjecting with rather...

    Q & A Green Eggs and Hamlet

    Typically, I simply eat a bowl of granola--preferably, homemade. On weekends, I might prepare a more elaborate meal. It can range from omelets to crêpes, muffins to stir-fry of some variety. It is dependent on mood, I suppose.

    Ann's boots shunted into the sand as she launched towards the campsite. Black hair streaming in her draft, she clomped between tents and trumpeted, "Sandstorm! Everyone, hurry and grab your vital tools and then get inside the plane! Right now!" Rounding the stakes of the medical care shelter...

    Closed Country Clubbing

    Ann made herself comfortable in the backseat of the limousine, quickly accustoming herself to the luxurious accommodations. She pulled at her hair briefly to confirm that it would retain its flow, and made sure that her necklace pendant was tucked beneath the neck of her dress. She then turned...

    Closed Country Clubbing

    Ann Tickwittee eyed her reflection as she stroked her hair with a curling iron, applying fluid waves to her normally straightened threads. It signified an occasion of notable importance, as she rarely went to such pains to fix her black locks in this particularly elegant manner. Once satisfied...

    Q & A Bedtime Routine

    (This post will read IC, but please keep this knowledge strictly OOC.) Typically, I floss and brush my teeth following dinner and soak my hair so I can shape it without too much hassle in the morning. Then I dress in my nightclothes: silk boy shorts/boxers and a sleeveless Hello Kitty top. I...

    Open Carnival

    Ann shook her head with minimal motion as she responded. "No, I don't believe we've had the opportunity, unless you have frequented the museums of Cairo or San Jose." She offered a repressed smile, allowing her eyes to momentarily flit around the room in an attempt to locate one of the agents...

    Ann was quite aware of the less-than-professional way the pilot and commentator had operated on the dead airplane, though word had somehow eluded her when it came to the subject of the looted dog tag. Nevertheless, she was secretly excited to investigate the interior of the aircraft. Every...

    Open Carnival

    ACME's instructor in archaeology was not as much here for the performance of the operation as she was to just enjoy a visit to Rio. In fact, her role in the mission was all but nil, as she would simply play to give credence to the covers of her associates. Ann naturally stood to the side of...

    Q & A Describe Your Morning Routine...

    For Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I wake up to my phone alarm at 6:20 because I will invariably tap the snooze button twice in a row. (For Tuesdays and Thursdays, all times are set back 90 minutes.) By 6:40, I am sliding off either the bed or the sofa, depending on how my night progressed...

    We'll have one more sequence of posts from each ACME player (though VILE may write too) for the end of RP Day 1. Write about hanging out in camp, playing volleyball, or exploring the plane with @Eugene Grovington's crew. Then we'll move on to Day 2 and the sandstorm.

    I just heard on the news they're going to have to remove the Sakura trees in Washington because of damage to a sea wall. They have to build a sea wall and replant new trees.

    Okay wait. Only 158 of the 2,500 have to be taken down. They are also taking clippings from the cut down trees to propagate new ones

    @Lucy ... don't know if you really want wolf spiders in your home... I'd go for jumping spiders, they can't bite... wolf spiders are the fast movers, and they can bite.

    ((Will lose my ACP internet towards the end of the month, unless anyone knows about it ending sooner. Trying to switch my Lifeline phone to a better provider that doesn't shut me off after four and a half gigs of data, nothing but failure so far and "call here" and "it's on their end" and the back and forth crap... in the morning, it's time to demand the supervisor and might even get to harsh language (after three days of that). I plan to use the Lifeline phone tethered as Internet source, share that to my own router... I've done it before (it's messy, and not 100% effective, but it works). ))

    ((The 'net is the main way to apply for jobs now, so I need that, and I've moved/changed Lifeline providers before without an issue, so no idea what the problem is. I have active Verizon through ACP, active Lifeline through Airtalk... is that somehow the issue? If anyone knows, please let me know before I tear someone a new one (ya know what I mean). After three days of this, and two days about a month ago, I'm ready to walk there with katana in hand.))
